W ithSecure is transforming the abstract world of cybersecurity into an accessible and engaging experience with the launch of its Museum of Malware Art .
This initiative aims to bridge the gap between complex technical issues and the general public through educational art installations . The museum is set to open in November 2024 at WithSecure ’ s new headquarters in Wood City , Helsinki .
The museum ’ s debut installation , Threatscape , is an interactive piece based on real-world threat data from WithSecure Intelligence . Utilising advanced AI technology , Threatscape allows visitors to engage with visual representations of cyberthreats , catch malware and gain insights into how these threats operate .

Curated by industry veteran and WithSecure Chief Research Officer Mikko Hyppönen , along with a team of cybersecurity researchers , threat intelligence experts and creatives , the museum features prominent malware transformed into art .
“ Cybersecurity is a collective responsibility . Our goal is to demystify it and make it relatable to everyone ,” said Mikko Hyppönen . “ By turning cyberthreats into art , we hope to foster a deeper understanding and awareness . We believe that making cybersecurity visible and understandable can inspire action and collaboration in the fight against cybercrime .”
